Taste assessment trials for sensory analysis of oral pharmaceutical products.
Taste assessment trials are conducted with an aim to evaluate taste of tastants (food, chemical, drug etc.) and involve estimation of gustatory sensation responses in healthy human volunteers within well controlled procedures. Taste assessment trials are the standard and so far preferred method of taste assessment. Several in vitro taste assessment approaches have emerged as subsidiary methods but none could replace Taste assessment trials. The article provides an overview on conduct of taste assessment trials in healthy adult human volunteers and children.
